Are you the character pictured w/ that item if I look it up on the wiki?

If so it's adorable you picked me considering my own flavor

In post 4297, MathBlade wrote:Remind me what did Bork claim he used?
N1: Farnsworth artifact on Nacho
N2: No claim
N3: No claim, but would make sense to use Trident.

It's unclear exactly how Tammy's role works but anything suggesting he used an artifact N2 would be very incriminating. This is because he started with Farnsworth and the Trident was unusable until N3, ie. would require a 2 artifact start or being passed another overnight.

Some thinking on Dunn/notsci would also be nice.

My inclination is just that Dunnstral is hard town for Day 1 w/ Cakez, I want to scumread notsci but it's more for how he interacts with players than anything about his reads so far.

So again, I ask you, what part of that post you quoted do you call a meltdown? Two mildly peeved posts, if even that level of annoyance is hardly a meltdown, but that's the word you used.

He was literally saying he was excited to play the game but was accepting that he was going to be elimmed after like one person attacked him. It was ridiculous.
LLD Mala Prism Bell Titus Dunn are one person. Some have stated they’ve checked out til elim phase. That’s not one person.
Ok one person was an exaggeration

You’re waiting on a dead guy?

And are now positing Bork town?

Damn Prism is your play made of stretch?

Like seriously why do I bus SirCakez D3 and stop Titus from miselimming Pooky in that world?

As I have said numerous times BM is the smarter play. I can hammer and am just waiting til people are ready.

I do. 4303 doesn’t make sense assuming that.

Titus’s posts are still really bad (I agree).
But I’m waiting on the wagons (day is over wagons are dead)
And SirCakez’s reactions (Dude is dead scum)

If you need something to do on me so badly go meta me or something.

The entire point of my confusion on Tammy isn't to save bork, because as I've been over it's better to let him die regardless. It's to make sure Tammy is correctly claiming her information so that if he
does
flip town she doesn't get policied for it.

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT

WHEN I GET TO THE POINT IN DAY 1

WHEN TITUS GETS WAGONED

AND THAT I WANT TO SEE HOW CAKEZ REACTS WHEN THAT HAPPENS

BECAUSE I KNOW IT HAPPENS, BUT I AM NOT THERE YET. I AM INSTEAD IN THE 300S

I would policy Titus over Tammy in a heartbeat.

I think likelihood of scum is you, Nott/Titus,BM as partners with Bork.

If we get further than that mod have mercy.

And I am waiting til tomorrow to do those things.

No one really interacted with the case yet so just waiting til tomorrow.

Just making sure if you’re scum you don’t spew BS.

No but that’s the only way to read that post *shrug*

You spammed several times waiting on Cakez in your ISO previously so summarizing your ISO is pointless when asking about BM+me as a team.

So yes it’s stupid it’s just the least stupid I could come up with.

Mathblade I've thought was Town from the beginning and still feel that way, BM is in my PoE pool but honestly his recent posts seem Town to me?

Gun to my head I'd say the final scum is notty (assuming bork is scum)

I want to look into Cakez associations tomorrow (I WILL HOLD MYSELF TO THIS I PROMISE) and focus specifically on the slots you've asked me about

I've been wary of MathBlade pushing Cakez being hardtown because their strategic view in The Mod is Mafia was very myopic, the one post onsite that I have remembered almost word for word years later is from this sequence:
Spoiler: Quote wall
Prism wrote:This game should end with either a straight up blank or with only a Titus lynch. You [MathBlade] going deep is plan C not plan A. No need to kill grapes right now.
MathBlade wrote:
Me going deep is plan C? Thought that was plan A.


That's how I have been playing it.

Whatcha thinking the plan is?

Radiant Moonlight slot is inactive as fuck (well start of game)

Your two slots are widely suspected. The only two people who suspect me have claimed PR.
Prism wrote:Literally one slot suspects our slot.

You should be bussing RM and maybe our slot too, but chances are that as a team either we either get a shutout or only have to lose the RM slot. In Plan C with both our slots gone, camn should never be lynched and you should be aiming to win in 5 way.

You should keep playing like you have been, it's more just the night kills to be concerned about. Ex. Grapes is a decent mislynch candidate, he's been inactive for huge stretches and done a lot of non-statements.
I am sure a lot has changed in 4 years but this was the single most disturbing post I've ever seen in a scum PT, I literally remember that first line years later, and for me represented the first time I realized that the site as a whole did not understand the scum alignment.

Looking at the Cakez/bork side of the interactions makes me feel a lot better so far.

This sequence is EXTREMELY good for Dunnstral. Spiffeh is the first poster of the Afternoon (real voting) phase. He makes a short case on Dunnstral, votes there. Pooky votes Dunn+Bell votes MathBlade both basically without comment. Cakez is the next poster.

I'm going to ignore the MB part of this for now but the fact Cakez is on this immediately on the vote opening up is super good. It basically eliminates any chance in my mind that the Dunn wagon was some dying desperado distance move
